#PhillyFive What We're Reading: Jan. 26, 2015

What we're reading this morning.

Stories from around the Web that we're reading this morning. Something for everyone.

1.) In response to those Philly types more likely to "pfffffft" than to "hooray," the Philadelphia Business Journal's staff puts together a massive list of 50 things that will change Philadelphia in 2015.

2.) A Philly-based artist has compiled a graphic showing the imaginary — "imaginary" — creatures that have captivated peoples in different parts of the United States, according to the Daily Mail.

3.) That time when a giraffe came to Philly and we called it a Camelopard, according to Billy Penn.

4.) The New York Times discovers that Gov. Chris Christie has a radio show during which he interacts with, gasp, the public.

5.) Mayoral candidate Lynne Abraham gave another sitdown interview to a blog, this time Newsworks' mayoral race-centric 99 (the next mayor of Philadelphia will be the city's 99th). The former district attorney avoids discussing marijuana this time, but does delve into "cottage industries" that supposedly involve kids taking apart computers for trace amounts of gold.
